"First Energy Stadium" should read "Factory of Sadness"

Beat me to it!

Have to give credit to the fans for showing up and . . . fuck making floats?!

Some of the "floats" were pickup trucks with things like "0-16" scrawled in the salt and dirt on the doors.

100% pure Cleveland. Awesome.

There was a TV news person working the crowd. She said to one guy, "This is being covered nationally, don't you think it might be embarrassing?" He answered, "They should be embarrassed! That's the point!"

Browns Encourage Dissatisfied Fans To At Least Stick It Out Until End Of Season
12/05/17 9:43am

CLEVELAND—Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam urged unhappy fans Tuesday to continue to support the team through at least the end of the season. “I know this has been unenjoyable, but back in the summer you guys made a commitment,” said Haslam, adding that if Browns fans really wanted to give up after the season was finally over that was a choice he could at least respect. “You’ve already stuck with it for this long, so with only a couple games left, why not just gut it out? I mean, come on, you think you’re the only ones who’ve thought about quitting?” Haslam then added to reporters that if fans were going to just half-ass it the rest of the way, he’d rather they just quit and get the fuck out of his sight.

Too Soon!

Actually, he does bring out a lot of team-specific information. The last one, of course, is why I posted it here.

That and because I am poor. . . .

Well, sort of. Change won't happen until the 2019 season and:

The team will continue to sell Chief Wahoo gear because if it stops doing so, it will lose ownership of the trademark, and others will be able to use the symbol as they please.

If you like your Chief Wahoo you can keep your Chief Wahoo.

Not sure if Cleveland got fleeced or a good overall deal.

Cleveland just cleared LA's cap space for Lebron and another max deal next year. Which seems a bit foolish if Cleveland had any hope of his staying. LA could have gotten a pizza in return and this is a great deal for them just because of that.

In return, Cleveland gets a slightly better longshot chance at a title, and since LeBron is leaving anyway, makes it even more likely he goes out west. That probably won't really matter, but might help Gilbert from writing angry stuff in comic sans if he sees LeBron less.

It has been said that Cleveland lost the Isaiah Thomas deal twice.

RCC: Act II · Post by **RCC: Act II** » Mon Feb 12, 2018 12:58 pm

Cleveland avoiding the sunk cost fallacy and realizing Thomas was worse than useless to them was in a way a win.

Cleveland maybe did better than I thought. LeBron got rid of some useless teammates for ones that are slightly better, younger, and thrilled to be complimentary pieces to LeBron on a team that could very well make the finals.

Seems like a win/win trade, really. Lakers get cap space and LeBron gets some try-hards. Much more likely (and fun) for him to try to HeroBall his way to the finals with people that aren't going to be moping around because they aren't getting attention.

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have begun long-term discussions about a development project that could include a substantially renovated stadium or a new facility at a different site in downtown Cleveland.

"We’re excited for the opportunity to be part of the conversation about downtown re-development," owner Dee Haslam said. "We should be part of the conversation in a bigger way, and I think we will be."
